Week 8 Challenges

Prompt: Create a map of your neighborhood 

Growing up my whole family lived on the same land. My grandpa and I used to ride on a red Honda four wheeler through the cow pastures. There was a creek in the cow pasture that we used to glide through on the four wheeler, and he would always scare me going over it. I used to think that the creek would swallow us up, but it never did. In that same pasture I learned to shoot a gun, and where to find the best and juiciest black berries. 

Pick a prompt you didn't get a chance to explore: 4. Sounds Map: Go somewhere.  A park.  Or, a people-rich environment.  Or, somewhere with the best ice cream.  Choose a place you want to be and that feels satisfying (for at least 20 minutes).  Using your notebook, create a sounds map of this space.  What do you hear?  Where does it come from?  Describe the sound.  Capture as much of it as you can.  Emplace us there with you.  (Note:  Do not do this one again if you used it in week three.)

I am at Home Depot with my dog on a busy Saturday in Atlanta, Georgia. Someone greets us at the door, "Welcome to Home Depot how can I assist you". My dog barks, because she sees another dog off in a distant isle. There are people speaking other languages, and I think it is Spanish that I am hearing. A woman is talking loudly on the phone about tape to someone, and I hear the humming of men in their element. There is a beeping noise coming from somewhere, and it is quite annoying until I figure out that it is coming from a forklift backing up behind me. This noise disrupts my dog and she whines.
